 Kitchen Helper Sodium bicarbonate or Bicarbonate of soda there the same thing   Sodium Bicarbonate I had an appointment last week with  Ears, Nose and throat.   Iv had sinus problems for years, I have allergy like symptoms with out actually having an allergy!!!!  It's a bit like having food intolerance's with out having an allergy.  They can both cause a lot of pain, but are not life threatening.  Along with brushing my teeth in the morning and at night, I can now add rinsing out my nostrils.  According to the leaflet I got   "Rinsing your nose is a safe way to help wash crusts and mucus from your nose".  From my point of view it's not really a fun thing to do, however I'm willing to try anything to stop my nose constantly running.  Lucky for me I already had all the ingredients to make a rinse, so did not really have any excuse for putting it off.  Nasal wash Recipe   1 Pint of Water 1/2 Level Teaspoon of salt 1/

Love Food Hate waste My mum's recently moved back down to Fife, and discovered our Councils new Waste recycling system.  Moving to a new house is stressful enough, working out which bin to put your rubbish in .........   Black - Paper Cardboard Green - Plastics and tin cans Brown - Food waste Blue -  All the rest for landfill waste Its prompted some random phone calls.  The only bizarre thing about the new system is they still don't collect glass!!!!       Until the new bins started I didn't realise how much of my Rubbish could be recycled.  It's also a lot easier to do than I expected.  The only draw back is that I can't tell which bin is which at night, since I can't see the colours in the dark  mmm.   My Waste not, want not  :tip of the week is - vegetable Oil Vegetable oil is a brilliant cooking ingredient for those of us that are Lactose Intolerant.

Why?  Well I get bored very easily and find it best to have something to keep me occupied.  I'm really dangerous when bored......  Side effect of having an anxiety problem, I find it hard to relax and just sit down.  Funny enough my brothers are the same. Doing nothing and relaxing is really hard...... Writing my blog is one way I can stay busy, while still remaining in a seated position.   It's taken me a while but I have finally picked my next project for 2014..... Waste not want not My New Years resolution for 2013 was to reduce my food waste.  It seemed appropriate since our local council have started a new recycle system.  Along with my paper/cardboard bins, they have added one for tins and plastics and food waste.  I've decided to go one further this year and blog some practical ideas Iv discovered to reduce waste and save a few pennies in the proc
